Özet
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis. Sacroiliitis, the most common osteoarticular complication of brucella, is seen in about 34-69 % of all brucella cases. Due to the fact that the symptoms of infectious sacroiliitis are similar to other lumbosacral and hip pathologies, early diagnosis of infectious sacroiliitis due to brucella is difficult. Here we present a case who had difficulty in walking due to low back and right hip pain. The patient had no fever, sweating or hepatosplenomegaly and his X-ray revealed no pathology. He was diagnosed with infectious sacroiliitis by Magnetic Resonans Imaging and open biopsy and later his sacroiliitis was confirmed to be due to brucellosis.
